Unfortunately that is cm, with a screen I can just about get 1m2 - I am actually thinking the ventilation issue is not fresh air but getting cold enough air through the light to keep the temp down. Going to have to split out the light cooling separate to the tent intake I think.

Personally a bit of grilled Dew fish would be better then the toasted cheese I shall probably make myself shortly
have U had a test run so U can monitor temps n what not?

im just throwing ideas out here but could it be lockout since you are feeding her but yet defs are showing?...
I am thinking lockout too. Cant work out how though unless it started before I got ph pens and temp meter. How the feck do I correct it this late in the day.

ur suppose to repot but U got an auto for one n this late in flowering I dunno buddy , im sure ae will bounce in n help. Md made a good point of in late harvest the yellow occurs naturally but this has been a constant.

right dude, thats looking like a major def, and or there root bound.... how big is that po, i noticed its only 2 thirds full, the top of the pot is alot wider than the bottom so it`ll carry the extra 2/3 litres or soil...

have you used molasses? could be sugar build up if so... soil...is it too compacted and no aireation???

Thanks dude. Pot says 30x22 on base. 10 inch high by 13 inch in old money. Was full to the top with soil at the start. No molasis used. As regards compacted, I dont think so, but if I stick a probe in, at about half way in there is a really tuff part that I have to push probe through.

near the end of the grow the plant will use its n up, hence why we don`t feed n in flower, maybe a little at the start of flower but its more phos dependant in flower ... the yellowing in the last say two weeks of flower would be expected with them all yellowing and or falling off come chop time...

re-pot her, use fresh potting compost have you drainage holes in the bottom? if not stick a few in the bottom, will let you see the root ball too, but lets just say, that it looks bad but its not over for her yet, you got along ways to go, before shes a gonner, this might however affect the yeild, a phos def or lockout will make the buds small ...

I will take what I am given lol. From the bit that I have read on auto's I thought repotting was a no-no? Would I be better cutting the bottom of the pot and planting into another pot or will the root-bound still continue? Height isnt a problem here.

e-potting won`t affect her, you have more chance of damageing something by cuting the bottom of the pot off, but if that suits you more then go for it, theres no right or wrong here... i think it`ll help her a bit, myself i`d want to lift it to see whats the roots looking like, and if there all the way to the bottom and not got any rot, you will see this when you cut the pot, as if there at the bottom like... jst before you set one pot on the other, tease out some roots gentle like...

still leaning to a def/ lockout here tho...

Cheers dude. My main problem is the width of the drobe. I cant fit a wider pot in. I am fecked now anyway. If I leave it it will be prob die, if I repot it will be stressed. Right. Off to get my hands dirty. Talk to yous later.

Hey all, just getting ready for my first Irish grow and wondered in anyone takes extra precautions for mould prevention.

The grow space is tiny 60 x 60 scrog'ed so airflow will be limited, it is also running a pretty huge light source for the space being 600hps

A while back on a similar issue but a humid climate I ran clear tube along the scrog mesh and injected air out of holes along the tube this worked really well, but unsure if this would be needed here.

Just not totally confident with the huge climate change I am not used to.

Cheers for any advice for this cold climate.
A clean grow room is a good start.
Adequate airflow and ventilation is very important especially in such a small space.
Dishwasher salt works well to draw moisture from the air and even a small dehumidifier would be good in a small space, you could even hang a few bags of boil in the bag rice to draw moisture.
Don't water your plants before lights out either.

fairly bang on there fred, and if the room is indoors like a cab or wardrobe this problem is much less likley to hurt you, keep an eye out once flowering begins for the signs of mould, if you even think that its begun, get a cloth a a heavey bleach solution and simply give the places you can reach a wipe, its not ideal but it`ll keep it in somewha of check till you get the plants chopped, same with the bud, if its got a little on it, cut it off and toss in the bin... them spores are no good for you...



why do you think you`ll be struck with mould?

I'd be more worried about a 600w in such a small space, a 400w would put out less heat and still put out adequate light
